Cook for an hour, pouring the juice from the baking tray every 20 minutes. In the meantime, heat the sauce in a small ladle. Stir regularly to keep it from sticking.
Once baked, start pouring over the chicken every 10 minutes for half an hour.
After that, remove the tray from the oven and let the dish stand for 10 minutes before serving.
